Not long after dawn, Gu Shi opened his eyes.

He wasn't very drunk, and he remembered everything that happened yesterday.

Turning his head, Gu Shi saw his wife nestled beside him and felt content.

He tiptoed out of bed. The two of them were only covered by a thin blanket. When he lifted the blanket, Lin Qingyu's fair and tender arms were revealed.

It is covered with traces that make people's imaginations run wild.

Gu Shi's heart skipped a beat, but he still got up to cook.

Lin Qingyu was really exhausted yesterday.

Gu Shi quickly started a fire to cook. He planned to make some millet porridge, and there were also white flour steamed buns at home.

He also had some leftover pork from yesterday, so he planned to stir-fry pork and cabbage.

But even after he had finished preparing the meal, Lin Qingyu still hadn't woken up.

Gu Shi tiptoed into their new room, looked at Lin Qingyu's sleeping face, and couldn't help but lean down and kiss her again.

He was somewhat annoyed; Lin Qingyu's health was too poor, and he would have to take good care of her in the future.

Because of the banquet, a lot of tables and chairs were borrowed, and people came one after another to move their belongings after dawn.

Since Gu Shi killed the wild boar that was ravaging the crops, most people in the village have changed their opinion of him.

Now I don't feel the urge to run far away from him whenever I see him.

A few of the bolder women even jokingly asked him, "Qingyu hasn't gotten up yet?"

He was so embarrassed that his ears turned red, and he just nodded in response.

He told everyone to take their own belongings and then went to clean the yard.

Before long, Gu Shi's courtyard became empty again.

It was already noon, and the sun was blazing, but Lin Qingyu still hadn't gotten up.

Gu Shi couldn't help but go back to the room to call her. She had already missed a meal, and if she continued to sleep, she would starve.

He entered the room; Lin Qingyu was still asleep.

There was nothing Gu Shi could do; he knew she was ticklish, especially around her neck, a fact he'd learned yesterday.

He nestled close to Lin Qingyu's neck and whispered, "Little Yu'er, Little Yu'er."

Lin Qingyu heard it even in her sleep. She opened her eyes in a daze, still terrified from what had happened the night before.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Shi's head, which startled her so much that she kept backing away.

"No more! I don't want it anymore! I really can't take it anymore!"

Although she was married in her previous life, Feng Chao was no match for Gu Shi.

This was the first time Lin Qingyu had experienced what it meant to feel like she was in heaven and death.

Looking at Lin Qingyu's terrified expression, Gu Shi felt a surge of desire within him.

He tried to appear gentle as he spoke softly to Lin Qingyu.

"Get up and eat something, it's already noon."

Lin Qingyu finally relaxed, and then her stomach suddenly rumbled, which was quite fitting.

She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

When she finished dressing and tried to get out of bed, her legs went weak and she almost knelt on the ground.

Lin Qingyu cursed Gu Shi as a "beast" in her heart again!

There was nothing she could do but sit on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) for a while to calm herself down.

When Gu Shi saw that she hadn't come out, he assumed she was shy, so he pushed the door open and went in to check on her.

"Why aren't you coming out? Should I bring you the food?"

Lin Qingyu looked at him with a somewhat complicated expression, and quickly said, "No need, no need, I'll be right there."

She felt she had rested enough, and when she stood up, she almost fell again.

Gu Shi quickly stepped forward and hugged her, only then realizing what was wrong with her.

Why didn't you call me?

Gu Shi helped Lin Qingyu onto the bed. Lin Qingyu was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear into the ground.

She blushed and didn't say anything. Gu Shi just thought she was shy and told her to sit down before going out to get the food.

A small table was placed on the kang (a heated brick bed), and then a plate of scrambled eggs, pork and cabbage, cold-dressed roasted chili peppers, two bowls of millet porridge, and several large steamed buns were brought over.

The meal may seem simple, but it's actually something most families in Lihua Village can't afford.

"Eat up!"

Gu Shi handed the chopsticks to Lin Qingyu and moved the dishes a little over there.

Lin Qingyu was about to eat when she suddenly remembered something important.

"Where's Xiaobao? Zhao Xiaobao, where did he go?"

Gu Shi suddenly stopped picking up his chopsticks, and the two of them completely forgot about the child.

"I'm going out to take a look!"

Lin Qingyu quickly put down her chopsticks and said anxiously, "I'm going too!"

Gu Shi stopped her from getting out of bed, saying, "You eat first, I can manage on my own!"

After saying that, he quickly ran out.

Many people came to the wedding banquet yesterday, and he drank quite a bit afterwards. He was so immersed in the joy of the wedding that he had long forgotten about Zhao Xiaobao.

He first went to check on Zhao Xiaobao's room, but the bedding hadn't been touched, so it seemed he hadn't been home the night before.

He rushed out again and thought carefully about where Zhao Xiaobao might go.

Lin Qingyu was anxiously waiting at home.

She was already embarrassed enough that her husband served her meals right after they got married.

Now that her nominal nephew has gone missing, how could she possibly stay quietly at home?

After getting out of bed and putting on her shoes, she tried taking a couple of steps and found that she felt less uncomfortable, so she slowly moved towards the outside.

Fortunately, by the time she reached Gu Shi's house, she was almost able to walk normally.

Lin Qingyu could no longer see Gu Shi's figure, and she didn't know what to do, so she thought of going home and asking her younger brother to help her look for him.

Unexpectedly, as she was walking home, she saw her younger brother with Zhao Xiaobao, the two of them each eating a sugar painting.

They were still chatting and laughing when, for some reason, Lin Weidong said something that made Zhao Xiaobao suddenly burst into laughter, causing him to drop the sugar painting he was holding.

"Oh, Brother Weidong, my candy!"

"It's alright, you can have this one!"

Lin Weidong silently bent down to pick up the sugar painting from the ground.

Lin Qingyu was furious. She put her hands on her hips and shouted loudly.

"Lin Weidong! You come here right now!"

Lin Weidong looked at his sister not far away with a blank expression, and helplessly pulled Zhao Xiaobao over.

"What's wrong, sis?"

Holding the sugar painting, Zhao Xiaobao hid behind Lin Weidong, looking at her timidly.

Lin Qingyu took a deep breath and calmed herself down a bit.

Then he spoke more gently, "Why did you bring Zhao Xiaobao along?"

Lin Weidong asked with some doubt, "Didn't Mom tell my brother-in-law yesterday that she would bring Xiaobao to our house to stay for one night because she was worried that he wouldn't be able to take good care of him?"

Didn't your brother-in-law tell you?

Zhao Xiaobao stared at Lin Qingyu with innocent eyes.

Lin Qingyu was also confused. Gu Shi didn't say anything. Did he really drink too much yesterday?

"I don't know either, it's good that you're alright!"

Lin Qingyu then said to Zhao Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, come home with me. Your uncle has been looking for you for a long time!"
